Configure Link Aggregation Groups
Link aggregation groups (LAGs), which are also known as port channels, allow you to
combine multiple full-duplex Ethernet links into a single logical link. Network devices treat the
aggregation as if it were a single link, which increases fault tolerance and provides load
sharing. You assign the LAG VLAN membership after you create a LAG. By default, the LAG
becomes a member of the default management VLAN (that is, VLAN 1).
A LAG interface can be either static or dynamic, but not both. All members of a LAG must
participate in the same protocols.
A static port channel interface does not require a partner
system to be able to aggregate its member ports.
The switch supports static LAGs. When a port is added to a LAG as a static member, the port
neither transmits nor receives LACPDUs.
Model GS308T and model GS310TP support eight LAGs each.
Configure LAG Settings
You can group one or more full-duplex Ethernet links to be aggregated together to form a link
aggregation group, which is also known as a port channel. The switch treats the LAG as if it
were a single link.
To configure LAG settings:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is of
f-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser
, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see
Discover or Change the Switch IP
Address on page 12.
Your web browser might display a security message, which you can ignore. For more
information, see Access the Local Browser Interface on page 18.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch’
s password in the Password field.
The default password is password.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select Switching> LAG > Basic > LAG Configuration.
